Rare large signed photograph of the Apollo 11 crew. Color photograph of the Apollo 11 crew posing in their white space suits against a lunar backdrop. Boldly signed by Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. Double-matted and framed. In fine condition. Neil Armstrong's signature was acquired at his home in Lebanon, Ohio, in June 1986, after his return from Washington following his involvement with the Rogers Commission Report; and the Collins and Aldrin signatures were procured through the mail that same year. The photograph measures 9.75 inches by 7.75 inches.ÂThe entire piece measures 18 inches by 15.75 inches. Rare and desirable signed by these legends. On July 20th 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on the lunar surface. Six hours after landing, Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the lunar surface; Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later and the two spent over two hours collecting lunar materials. Armstrong's first step onto the lunar surface was broadcast on live TV to a worldwide audience, during which he uttered the historic phrase, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Apollo 11 effectively ended the Space Race and fulfilled a national goal proposed in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy: "before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.".
